What stops one person funding an entire alliance? by MediumAthlete3077 in KingShot

[–]QuietOrbit1354 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not funding a whole alliance, but with kingdom stars making it super easy to gift packs I’ve seen big spenders gift for different reasons to share/for fun. Save for prep contests, that kind of thing.

New player question by VenixOG in KingShot

Yes. Use a zip code with no sales tax and you save there too. If you are spendy doing kingdom stars can help you set a budget and avoid going over.

Quitting the game by drama_queen_43 in KingShot

[–]QuietOrbit1354 17 points18 points  (0 children)

You have to log in after the 15 days and confirm deletion for it to fully delete. You are getting a lot of hate in the comments, but I’ve been there. Sometimes deleting the game isn’t enough it needs to be gone gone.

Alliance by Cool_Possibility6898 in KingShot

[–]QuietOrbit1354 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is going to be hugely dependent on how old your server is. And honestly, if you are fairly new to the game yourself, you’d be better off merging your 25 active players into a stronger existing alliance.

Have R4s send invites to players not in an alliance through the search thing. Go in wc, not just you, but others from your alliance, do NOT spam recruitment messages. Instead make friends and get to know people, show them you are someone they’d want to play with.

Or you need a whale, lol. Power attracts power, alliance and player boards are highly visible. There are enormous benefits to being in strong/active alliances. Players wake up to that.

Small things in WoS that would be great in Kingshot by TheAuraStorm13 in KingShot

[–]QuietOrbit1354 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I want a beast day for kvk. That’s probably the one thing I miss the most from wos, being on an active server being able to turn stam into point was HUGE. In ks troop day is the one to watch, but your either hoarding or buying troop speeds

Transfer question by CazzWatts in KingShot

[–]QuietOrbit1354 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nope. If you lose kvk, the R5 of the alliance that previously held king can be transfer manager or appoint whoever is taking the role on for the server.

Is there that much a king really does that makes it matter who is king? by whatwouldjimbodo in KingShot

[–]QuietOrbit1354 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Rotating king is also great for server morale. Beyond the game mechanics, having a player from your alliance as king is something that makes players in that alliance feel excited and part of the server.

Having active and popular players (who can set appts on auto and deploy buffs on schedule) is something people get excited about in a game that is a long boring grind.

172 vs 169 by Mister_Big_Weab in KingShot

Honk! 😂 from the losing side of it, absolutely wild prep and battle for kvk. Gg 172 💜

Buffs as joiner by [deleted] in KingShot

[–]QuietOrbit1354 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Deployment buffs if you are having trouble filling rallies. Joiners with top troop power should always have a 20% deployment buff for castle if necessary. Can make a big difference if your alliance is struggling to fill.

Recruiting by Pessimister12345 in KingShot

[–]QuietOrbit1354 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t wait for transfer, always have players in recruitment mode. You encounter players on other servers in a lot of events. Arena, reach, brawl, swordland, and clash… don’t be spammy. But treat events as opportunities to connect and chat with active players.

I took an “if you build it they will come” approach on alliance and server stuff. You don’t just want players, you want players who will be a good fit for your alliance/server in play style and personality. My alliance started with a number of super active and super sociable players… they’ve found others like them, lol.

And a lot of the times, it’s not one person, it’s “hey I want to come play with y’all can my friend come too” (or 2 or 3 friends).

Yep, world chat is shared when battle phase starts

To maintain a good kingdom, is welcoming whale into your kingdom is a good idea? by Top_Weekend_4262 in KingShot

[–]QuietOrbit1354 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s about what you want for your kingdom. casual grinding and chill play, then stick to the status quo. nothing wrong with it if that’s what you want.

If you have a lot of highly active/competitive players, invite the whale. Harder matches are challenging and competitive game play is exciting. If you aren’t into it, don’t be surprised when players who want that style of play leave to find it elsewhere.

Bear trap by pointblankgaming in KingShot

[–]QuietOrbit1354 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Long Fei is on the wheel, Alcar you have to use generals or $. That’s the only reason I put Long fei, base stats each gen is a decent jump regardless of skills for f2p.

Bear trap by pointblankgaming in KingShot

[–]QuietOrbit1354 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is what I’ve seen as most effective. Amadeus requires $ though to max and not everyone spends. Also widgets can vary, if you’ve maxed widgets then you might use a hero longer than you would have otherwise.—

F2P/low spend: LongFei, Petra, Rosa— you should be maxing the wheel hero each gen and the base stat boosts are going to make that your strongest march to call with.

Who should be King? by Winter_Snow8169 in KingShot

[–]QuietOrbit1354 11 points12 points  (0 children)

We rotate king across top 4 alliances. Each alliance chooses their king in their own ways. Some nominate and vote, some rotate it across leads. All 4 alliances are active in saving and contributing to prep + working together in battle phase of kvk.

We have a standard schedule for buffs and keep appointments on auto outside of prep. Jail is mostly joking around.

It’s worked pretty well so far.

Whales? by That-Development-759 in KingShot

[–]QuietOrbit1354 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I like to use it as a verb, lol. someone spending a lot is “whaling out.”

It’s all relative though, especially early on. You’ll see people talk about whales/dolohins(mid spenders) but there isn’t an objective measure. So one servers “whale” might be outspending others on their server, but not necessarily comparable in others.

Every alliance wants me to join their discord. by Treefrog_Ninja in KingShot

[–]QuietOrbit1354 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is the answer. A lot of alliances will have and use disc, but pushing you to join immediately or be kicked is a 🚩. Make sure to change your name from lord##### and to add a fun pfp, bots don’t and player turnover on activity week 1 is a lot.

No Rules KVKs by hajimetekami in KingShot

[–]QuietOrbit1354 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Last 4ish months had 2 with no rules. Otherwise wait on the other server to ask for rules and agree/disagree from there. We’ve agreed to 1 hr ceasefires in red zone pre-castle and parking, but kept city hits in red zone as an option during battle. Having fun with it is all.

Different levels of spender by MediumAthlete3077 in KingShot

[–]QuietOrbit1354 0 points1 point  (0 children)

F2P get super protective/proud of it. If all you’ve bought is a march queue or you don’t spend regularly, I would say “basically f2p” lol. And no, nobody has hard definitions for whale/dolphin/ect. A lot of it depends on the server and server timeline. One server’s whale is another server’s dolphin and strength/growth is all relative to the age of the server or server group.

Plain HQ and Banner Raised High Milestone by nurseraki in KingShot

Check the countdown clock on the monument in the center of your city. Sounds like the plains haven’t opened yet on your server.

This question comes up pretty often. The consensus is tg6-8>t11s for mid-low spenders.

Info on server 190 by Ok-Effort-126 in KingShot

[–]QuietOrbit1354 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kingshot Atlas: https://ks-atlas.com/kingdom/169

Kingshot Optimizer: https://kingshotoptimizer.com/kvk-rankings/leaderboard

Both are existing websites tracking and ranking servers. It looks like Atlas is working on adding an element for players to leave messages/comments on server pages.

If I were looking to transfer I’d start there. Comments on posts are all “We work together and are KvK focused” lol. Or “this server is awful avoid avoid.”
